Take a Tour

Upcoming Tour Days– Sunday, Jan 13 and Sunday, March 10. 11am and 1pm.
Please register here. For a Day Camp tour, please email us to schedule.
Some of our lead staff will show you our cabins and beautiful property – ask as many questions as you’d like! We will have light refreshments for you to enjoy. A tour is about 90 minutes and involves walking over some uneven ground so wear comfortable shoes.
